You all know basic mathematics:

1+1=2

50+50=100

100,000+100,000=20,000

10-8=2

100-70=30

100,000-1,200=98,800

But now add any currency sign behind those numbers and you’ll understand, why basic mathematics don’t apply to capitalism.

Based on this (x). Conclusion: they’re still fuckers. 

Or maybe daddy works all week to provide us money for food and clothes

Becausedaddy’s labour is arbitrarily placed at a higher valueandthe work he does all week is no more important or legitimate than domestic labour. The capital value of the same relative labour is dependent on the gender of the person its performed by, and the capital values of different, specific kinds of labour, are dependent on the gender of the person who usually performs them in a society. The work easily available to women is priced cheap or free, and the work women have to struggle harder to get is still worth less capital than that same work when performed by men. 

In short, daddy gets to choose what he gets to work on, and the job he gets to choose can easily generate more than enough money to feed and shelter more than one person.  In this scenario, women still have to do work, but are often forced to depend on others to support them, let alone able to consider supporting others with their labour. 

In some cases, men might actually prefer their wives to do even less in terms of domestic labour, because it will be a symbol of conspicuous leisure, which is the mark of status. Women doing no work at all only happens if daddy has so much money and power that he wants to show it to people by how he can support a family with even less work on their part.

A society directing women to be dependent on men, who like their women that way, is definitively a patriarchy, and the division of labour between men and women continues to reinforce gender inequality even today. 

Hopefully you can see more of the repercussions of EXACTLY WHAT WAS IMPLIED IN THE ORIGINAL POSTnow. 

oh, please, please, please read this commentary because this person was kind enough to give y’all a free lesson on gender roles WRT  domestic work/work in a capitalist society since we, in America, live in a masculine society in terms of work and values.

You know it’s been quite a while that I took my business law class, but there was a legal defense that I remember learning about called, doctrine of avoidable consequences, which prevents a person from recovering damages that could have been avoided through reasonable efforts.

For 13 years, OP chose to work as a part-time worker at a grocery store for an average annual raise of $0.05.

Obviously, OP isn’t trying to take their employer to court or anything to recover damages, but dang, could they have made a reasonable effort to avoid these consequences. Like this is borderline negligence for their own well-being haha
